Why dive here
With 70+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, dolphins, humpback whales, mobula rays (devil rays) and oceanic whitetip sharks - Il Cristo Degli Abissi offers some of Portofino & Liguria's richest reef diving. Water ranges 14-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Dropping into San Fruttuoso Bay, the Il Cristo Degli Abissi statue sits at 17 meters, an iconic sight for many divers. It’s a straightforward dive, often busy with other boats, but the bay itself offers some interesting rocky reef walls. We've seen moray eels and small schooling fish around the statue's base. It's a solid choice for those looking for a relatively easy dive with a unique focal point.
